Ladies and Gentleman, sit down and listen to Hooverphonic!
Today’s post is really special, today’s Hooverphonic’s turn and it will not be an easy post so please excuse me if I sound reiterative but I’m in love of this band and that love just don’t allow me to be rational.
The first Hooverphonic song I listened was “Mad about you” and all of the sudden I got mad about Hooverphonic, this song is so perfect, so sweet and so human I just loved it so lets go step by step, first of all the music, classic instruments open the song in such a dramatic way and it’s not only the opening then everything develops into a 3:43 minutes of drama, passion, love and even hate, it’s not all classic instruments, we can listen drums, some synthesized keyboard and other contemporary instruments but everything comes together in such perfect way from the beginning to the end, there’s no highs and lows in this song every single part of this song is on a high, the we have the voice, the voice here is of an Angel singing evil things, you can really appreciate the passion on Liesje Sadonius’ voice and just admire how well voice and music come together, then the lyrics, we have here a true poem transformed into a song, and not the silly poem where everything is pink and sweet, but a poem where even though things can turn out badly, it’s worth to live and enjoy the experience while it lasts, those 3 items combined create a master piece that can only be described as sublime!
Then we have Jackie Cane, here we do not have Classic instruments and it’s not even necessary, Guitars take it’s place instead while still making a warm and deep atmosphere, also here you can understand that Liesje’s voice does not have any boundaries and so her songwriting talent, Jackie Cane is once again a piece of art with deep and powerful lyrics, brilliant music and an Angel’s voice.
And if it weren’t enough we have Vinegar and Salt, another impressive well orchestrated song where Liesje steals protagonism with her beautiful and powerful voice but the music is still extraordinary and Lyrics are once again not about the typical silly romance but about a mature person who knows her/his deffects and knows that those will turn such romance into inminent failure, but as the song states… “But sometimes, it’s better to lie” even if it’s to your self.
Those three songs I mentioned are within a single album believe it or not, and what is more impressive is that all other songs in that album are just fantastic but those three are true master pieces, those are in a cathegory appart, yet more impresive is that every single album released by this Belgian band is as good as this one, all Hooverphonic’s albums are quite different and quite interesting, music is always amazing, lyrics deep and powerful and the voice is always something unique and a true experience to listen to.
Other jewels are “2Wicky”, “This strange Effect”, “One”, “Other’s delight”, “Opium” and truly, a lot other songs, I don’t describe each one here because it’s really hard to describe the indescriptible, so I highly recomend you listen this band, any disk, any song I’m sure will be a unique experience.
So enjoy because …Music is opium for free…
